@TheAA_UK @Sammyjo1954 Being “mega busy “ isn’t an excuse.
Advertise your service accurately.
We have waited for 12 hours+ so far.
If you don’offer emergency recovery or roadside assistance please state that https://t.co/bn4BgBbsG3 make it easy to pay you a subscription, but impossible to get help!

@TheAA_UK @JShizzle1984 This is not an adequate reply.
Try harder

We were on our way to a vital consultant appt at St Mary’s hospital - we’ve been waiting for the appointment for almost a year.

I had no idea this was AAs level of service. I will complain asking for a refund & compensation.
But none of that will make my partner well again.

@TheAA_UK we have been waiting for recovery from 10.18 this morning. Stuck on a main road with no food or drink in 30 degree heat.
The arrival time has been pushed back and the latest ETA for your crew is 10am tomorrow. That’s 24 hours!

@AnuskaChester @FCDOGovUK @UKinOman Hi, how did you get from Dubai to Oman please? My autistic daughter is stuck in Dubai and I’m struggling to help her.
Hope your trip back continues safely. 🙏

[Sam J 💙🧡 @RdgukSam]

@FCDOGovUK @UKinOman My disabled daughter & boyfriend stuck in Dubai. No assistance at all offered so far. Return flights cancelled.
Uk evacuation so far consists of two charter flights from Oman. No advice or assistance on how to get to Oman or how to get on an evacuation flight. Do better.

@ShabanaMahmood With each announcement you sound more like someone who has no idea how the asylum system works. Private contracts govt oversee are wasteful. Let asylum seekers work, ensure they can afford a bus fare. Don’t move people randomly around the country when they are under medical care.

“Hey, we know we agreed you’re refugees , but we don’t care how much you’ve lost, how much you’ve suffered or how much danger you’re in. If you aren’t rich we will make life difficult for you, leaving your safety in limbo for decades.”
Paraphrasing our Home Secretary.

“Darfur right now is the epicenter of human suffering on the planet," says @UNReliefChief Tom Fletcher, "mass executions, huge amounts of sexual violence, famine.”
Will the UAE continue to arm the RSF militia committing such atrocities? Will President Trump call out the UAE?

“This is extreme, this is inhumane, and it is a government of cowards.”

@ITVNewsPolitics @GulwaliP @Peston Why would the decisions to grant someone safety depend on their skills - sounds exploitative.

[Sam J 💙🧡 @RdgukSam]

@jennAA2014 @ShabanaMahmood She does know. Yet she’s deliberately using divisive and misleading language.

[Sam J 💙🧡 @RdgukSam]

@ShabanaMahmood Reporting this post as misinformation, it’s misleading & divisive. There are hotels being used to house asylum seekers ( refugees), due to HO delays.
It is not illegal to claim asylum.
Illegal migrants are not housed by the Home Office or given asylum support.

[Sam J 💙🧡 @RdgukSam]

@bphillipsonMP @lukeakehurst Well, unless they come from a refugee background, in which case you’ll push them further into poverty and insecurity.

[Sam J 💙🧡 @RdgukSam]

@AnnaAhlander @suemmole @triffic_stuff_ @PolitlcsUK I was responding to the comment above which states that many of those who are undocumented have been trafficked.

As the commenter above says illegal immigrants and asylum seekers are different categories, though the terminology seems to have become conflated.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Congratulations, Shabana!

You've unlocked the much coveted Tommy Robinson endorsement!

As he notes, you're shifting the political conversation in the direction of the far right.

You must be so proud!

What an amazing achievement for a Labour politician!

I don’t know how to explain to the racist that I am one of the deserving refugee’ because I have been productive with my time here, studying, raising a family, have a business supporting the local community with the basic needs and services in the area.
Most of the right wingers don’t care about the contribution of refugees. They don’t want us here. I don’t believe people should be allow to remain and rebuild their lives but because it’s proper and decent to help people achieve safety. Many of the refugees will always contribute yet we must welcome them because it’s the right thing to do.

[Sam J 💙🧡 @RdgukSam]

@PolitlcsUK @TheSun These announcements are not only evil, but half of them make you think that the Home Secretary has no idea how the asylum support system currently works.

[Sam J 💙🧡 @RdgukSam]

@dopeypolitics @PeterStefanovi2 @TrevorPTweets Indeed. Sadly we give out a lot of tents.
We’d love asylum seekers to have the right to work and we are calling for the move on period to return to 56 days.

But most refugees eventually find rooms in the private rental sector.

[Sam J 💙🧡 @RdgukSam]

@AnnaAhlander @suemmole @triffic_stuff_ @PolitlcsUK The very definition of being trafficked is that they are forced to come here by force or coercion with the aim of exploitation ( modern slavery).
